A whirlpool suddenly formed on the water behind Yamanaka Inoichi. Immediately afterwards, long spears made of water shot out from the whirlpool with a "whoosh, whoosh" sound.

"Damn it! This guy can actually perform hand seals with one hand?"

"Lord Hai, be careful!"

Two teammates nearby gave timely reminders, but it was too late.

Yamanaka Inoichi, already injured, had no time to dodge; his shoulder and abdomen were instantly pierced, blood gushing out. Even so, he still managed to push Hozuki Mangetsu away with all his might. At the same time, he staggered backward.

"Wow, can they really hold on like this? As expected of the renowned Konoha ninja." Hozuki Mangetsu's face also showed a slight surprise. "However, I advise you not to insist too much. Because you no longer have any chance of escaping." He bent down and gently pressed his hand against the water's surface.

puff.

A huge column of water shot into the sky and then scattered in all directions.

Swish swish.

This action seemed to trigger some kind of signal, and one by one, the Hidden Mist ninjas rushed over from afar, forming a huge encirclement that surrounded the group.

221 A Shota Falls from the Sky...

"Damn it! These bastards from Kirigakure have been following us all along!"

"This is terrible!"

"As expected, it can't be refunded now..."

At this moment, even Yamanaka Inoichi, a veteran of many battles, felt his heart sink to the bottom.

All three of them were seriously injured, with themselves and Hyuga Nishiki even incapacitated. Not only that, but their leader was an elite ninja like Hozuki Mangetsu. The possibility of escape was virtually zero.

"That's enough, Konoha ninjas." Hozuki Mangetsu slung his Executioner's Blade over his shoulder, a morbid grin on his face. "I wish you all a good time in another world."

As he spoke, the Hidden Mist ninjas began forming hand seals. The instant Hozuki Mangetsu finished uttering the last two words, a flurry of various ninjutsu, kunai, and shuriken surged forth, swarming towards Yamanaka Inoichi and his companions.

There's no escaping it, no way to escape it!

Faced with this overwhelming attack, even if Yamanaka Inoichi and his companions were injured, or even if they were at their peak, they would likely not escape death!

Despair, this is truly a scene of despair.

Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the ashen faces of the three Konoha ninjas before him and a smug smile appeared on his face. But the next moment, his smile suddenly froze.

Boom!

A huge explosion.

A fiery red object, like a meteorite, fell from the sky and crashed heavily into the center of the field.

The immense impact caused the ground to crack open, sending countless clods of earth and shattered rocks flying high into the air, shooting outwards in all directions. Enveloped by the terrifying force, these clods of earth and rocks acted as a barrier, blocking all ninjutsu and ninja tools, preventing a single one from entering the area.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

The Kirigakure ninjas, including Hozuki Mangetsu, looked at each other, completely bewildered by the scene before them.

Amidst the swirling smoke and mist, Yamanaka Inoichi stared in astonishment at the two figures who had suddenly appeared before them. His expression was one of profound disbelief. "You, you are... Lord Yuhi Mugetsu?"

"The sunset is moonless?"

"The Celestial Dragon of Konoha?"

Hyuga Nishiki and Uchiha Nozomi both showed surprised expressions. How did he end up here? Did the vanguard arrive so quickly?

"Oh, you're Senior Inoichi?" Mugetsu glanced at the three people opposite her, finally settling on Yamanaka Inoichi. "It's our first time meeting, isn't it? Please take care of me." A burst of white light surged from her right hand, and she gently touched his wound, stopping the bleeding.

Of course, he couldn't show favoritism at this point, so he also provided appropriate treatment to his two other Konoha companions.

"Um, please take care of me..." Staring blankly at his actions, Yamanaka Ino blurted out unconsciously before realizing what he meant. "No, this isn't the time to talk about that. Did the vanguard all come with you?"

"Ah, no." Wuyue scratched her head and laughed, "I'm faster, so I went ahead."

You went ahead first... I remember you were a commander too! What kind of commander abandons their mission and charges in alone?! And the worst part is, you brought this maid with you?! That's fucking insane!

Thinking of this, Yamanaka Inoichi turned his gaze to Yokura, who was dressed in a black and white maid outfit. At this time, she had changed her hairstyle. Instead of the previous bun, her shoulder-length hair was completely down, and her face showed a very calm and indifferent expression. There was no headband on her head, only... a pair of fluffy cat ears on her head.

· …… ·

It was precisely because of this attire that Yamanaka Inoichi didn't immediately recognize Pakura's identity, only noticing her two cat ears. That was considered quite advanced in the ninja world. There was no concept of cosplay here.

How did they make this? It looks almost real, I really want to squeeze it!

A thought suddenly popped into Yamanaka Inoichi's mind, but he quickly shook his head, dismissing it. How terrifying! These cat ears are terrifying! More terrifying than illusion!

"What's wrong?" Wuyue had no idea what kind of shock and impact her maid had had on the other person's heart. She was just curious when she saw him suddenly become silent.

"No, it's nothing." Yamanaka Inoichi naturally couldn't tell the truth and quickly changed the subject. "This time, thanks to you."

Make your choice, dear host.

First, since you want to express your gratitude, why don't you marry your daughter to me in the future?

Second, take a bath tonight and wait for me.

Third, have your wife take a bath and wait for me.

Pooh!

Wu Yue inwardly spat, "That damn system! It's pulling this trick again. Damn it, it's going to screw me over completely!" However, having already been tricked so many times, she didn't care about another one or two. She immediately raised her head and said, "Well, since you want to thank me... how about you marry your daughter to me in the future?"

ha?

At that moment, everyone from Konoha, including Ye Cang, was stunned. They stared blankly at Wuyue. They thought they had misheard; was it really possible to take advantage of someone's kindness?

222 Advance booking

The atmosphere suddenly became silent. The smoke and mist that enveloped them still hadn't dissipated.

Under these circumstances, the Hidden Mist ninjas dared not attack rashly, but instead kept tightening the encirclement to prevent those inside from escaping in the chaos.

Wuyue also felt very awkward at this moment. Putting everything else aside, Yecang's murderous gaze alone made him feel like he was being pricked by thorns, and he was very uncomfortable.

But the system hadn't given any feedback yet, so he couldn't offer any explanation. He could only endure the gaze, staring unblinkingly at Yamanaka Inoichi, waiting for his answer.

"Cough cough."

After coughing twice, even a seven-foot-tall man like Yamanaka Inoichi was somewhat at a loss. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Lord Mugetsu, actually... I don't have any children yet."

Of course I know you don't have children. How could Yamanaka Ino have been born so early!

While thinking this to herself, Wu Yue said aloud, "It's alright. Then, if you have a daughter in the future, marry her to me."

Wow, why are you so fixated on this! Do you really think my future child will definitely be a daughter? I actually prefer boys!

Yamanaka Inoichi was already seething with resentment, but he felt helpless in the face of the boy before him. Moreover, the footsteps of the Kirigakure ninjas were growing closer, so he could only say helplessly, "If I ever have a daughter, it would be her honor to marry Lord Mugetsu!" Bah! Honor my foot! I actually said something so insincere; I truly feel ashamed of myself!

After all, rumors in Konoha say that this boy, though young, has a ton of girlfriends. Even Tsunade has a complicated relationship with him. Any girl whose daughter has crossed paths with him is doomed! But it's too late to say anything now. I just hope my future child isn't a daughter!

Ugh.

For some reason, Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly had a very bad premonition. But the gradually dissipating mist around him immediately shifted his focus. "Lord Mugetsu, they're probably about to attack."

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with fifty days of cultivation and five years of dragon growth cycle."

Hearing the notification in his mind, Wuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that these damned options were becoming increasingly targeted, and some tasks even required interaction with other people, making the experience extremely poor.

However, he didn't seem to care much about the Hidden Mist ninjas around him, and waved them off dismissively. "It's alright, let them handle it."

Uh.

The group paused for a moment, stunned. This meant they completely disregarded their opponent. It sounded unbelievable, but considering Wu Yue's record since his rise to fame, everyone felt it was perfectly reasonable.

That is indeed the case.

When Hozuki Mangetsu saw two more people on Konoha's side, especially a boy in white and the long sword in his hand, his expression suddenly turned to horror, and he asked in astonishment, "You? It's you? Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Mugetsu twisted his neck and said, "It's been a long time, young man from the Hozuki family."

"Damn it! Retreat!" Without the slightest hesitation, Hozuki Mangetsu decisively gave the order. Facing the boy before him, he had no chance of winning. Even though their ninjas completely outnumbered the enemy, he dared not even entertain the thought of fighting to the death.

A little over a year ago, even the older generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, along with the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails Isobu, could only fight the enemy to a draw. That was the result of almost exhausting all of Kirigakure's elite forces... Now, all they can offer is themselves. How can they possibly compete?

Hozuki Mangetsu knew very well that against a ninja of Yuhi Mugetsu's caliber, tactics of outnumbering the enemy were ineffective unless their side had more than four figures of ninjas; otherwise, they couldn't even sustain a war of attrition.

So, he instantly transformed into flowing water and disappeared from everyone's sight. The remaining Kirigakure ninja exchanged bewildered glances. What was going on? Their leader had run away before they even made a move? Were they really supposed to carry out such a humiliating order?

"Ye Cang, I'm leaving this to you. Is that alright?" Mugetsu didn't even glance at these small fry; his only target was the fleeing Hozuki Mangetsu.

“No problem.” Although Ye Cang was just jealous, he was quite reliable when it came to serious matters. “Please leave it to me, Master.”

"I already said we don't need to call you master anymore, that was just a joke." Wu Yue looked at her with a headache.

“But I’m serious now.” Ye 3.5 said, her hands already forming hand seals. “From now on, I will become your most loyal maid.” With a hiss, balls of fire condensed around her.

"Then do as you please." Wuyue didn't insist any further, and her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Only in this way can I stay by your side forever without having to consider various problems." Ye Cang muttered to himself, glancing at the departing figure. When his gaze returned to the Mist Netherworlds opposite him, it was now filled with chilling killing intent. "My hatred will end here."

223 Man-eating monsters

Bang.

A loud explosion rang out from beside the coastal rocks. A gust of wind rose, and water splashed everywhere.

Hozuki Mangetsu's disheveled figure emerged from the water, his eyes fixed on the boy in front of him with a mixture of anger and terror.

Wrong!

He was incredibly frustrated! He clearly couldn't win a fight; he couldn't escape either, as his opponent's speed was simply illogical. Even using his most powerful technique, Water Instantaneous Body, he was still forced to reveal his true form in the next instant.

"Hmm? Go on." Wuyue stared at the other person with eyes like a cat playing with a mouse, and said indifferently, "I have plenty of time, I'll play slowly."

Fuck your brother-in-law!

At this moment, Hozuki Mangetsu truly felt a sense of despair. He was, after all, a renowned ninja in the ninja world, yet in the hands of the boy before him, his life was like a candle flickering in the wind, completely at the mercy of the boy.

Unacceptable! Unbearable!

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered; how could Hozuki Mangetsu, the peerless genius of Kirigakure, be toyed with like a dog?

"Go to hell!" he roared, gripping his broadsword tightly in his right hand. He suddenly charged towards his opponent, his eyes sharpening, giving off a do-or-die aura.

"What, not planning to play anymore?" Wu Yue tilted his head, looking rather naive, and said, "That's fine too. Let's end it here then." He lightly raised his right hand, and a layer of scorching lava enveloped his arm.

boom.

Arms and longswords clashed, and a gust of wind rippled outwards.
